She posted a pic of 9mm Lugar bullets she got as a gift in one of her posts. And in another post asked if anyone wanted to go shooting. Since the area where she was found is a hunting spot, I wonder if she and a friend could have gone out there to shoot... Just thinking.

The autopsy performed by the medical examiner identified the woman as Jean Marie Smith, 25, with a last known residence on Patriot Crescent in Hampton, an Isle of Wight Sheriff's Office news release states.

It looks like she has a cousin that has started a donation account to pay for her funeral.

Is there a way to contact the cousin through the donation account to let him/her know about Virginia's fund to help pay for funerals of victims of crime. I believe it was stated on AJ's thread that they will pay up to $25,000 in funeral costs.

I keep thinking about this girl, so close to AJ even searches for AJ close to where Jean was found. Isle of Wight popped up many times in that case, I have to wonder if there is a connection, or just a sad coincidence.

It looks like the cousin has gotten resources for victim benefits from a couple people per the above link (reading in the comments).
